Thanks for another great read, I love that your dogs (and cats) have equal rights to the furniture. Honestly, look at the "zillion" 😉 pictures of them looking absolutely adorable sleeping in the sofa or chairs you would have missed had you forbidden it😏

I like prose, I like pictures and don't worry about the innuendo, Sex like everything else has no age

Love the snug - and of course dogs on sofas - isn't that what they are designed for? They certainly are in our house. xx

Thank you! And absolutely. In my view, it's their home too!

The snug is definitely looking snug! 😊 A well hung mirror is a joy to behold and like you we've also got wood for the winter! 😜 Looking forward to seeing the new sofa... When we got our new sofa we deliberately got a three seater so there's room for our daxie to snuggle in between us - thankfully he doesn't take up quite as much room as your boys! Enjoy your weekend! 🍁🍂💖

Thank you so much Vikki! Yes, once they spread out, that leaves very little space for us to squeeze into! Hope you had a good weekend xx

Lovely to read your post as usual Gareth. Who doesn't like a bit of innuendo?

The snug is definitely home, it is so inviting and cosy for the autumn and winter months. Your wood and and well hung mirror have made that room complete.

Good riddance to your ex-follower!

I hope you have fun at the quiz, I'm sure it will be a hoot.

Have a lovely weekend with your boys 🥰 xx

I so love reading your posts, they make me feel as cosy as your home looks. Trying to embrace your enthusiasm for autumn and stop being grumpy about the end of summer. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏 xx

Love a perfectly timed innuendo! And dogs on sofas. Great read and as always a real feel good factor. Keepers is looking so cosy and those autumn colours are stunning. Happy weekend!

Another great read Gareth. Don't worry about innuendo. Let's say I'm old enough to be your Dad and still use them and chuckle when hearing them. The mirror and the flooring look wonderful and keepers is looking so cosy. As for dogs on the sofa and your departed follower. I'm in your camp ( camp ha ha haha!) Dogs are family and what your boys have been through in their previous lives, they could sort out my sofa anytime. Sod off ex follower and get a life! Enjoy your quiz night tonight guys thighs or no thighs.
